Does anyone still play this stuff? I've been playing SC:BW and WC3 recently for a few reasons:1. My internet is used up! NOOOOO!!! no LoL action for a few days2. They're fun. And you get epic rush when you're trying to micro3. I have a/some? Korean friends. lol... I'm trying to get good enough to beat them/him4. It's fun checking your APM

Even in it's low res graphics SC+BW will always be one of my all time favorite RTS's! No need for an account to LAN, campaigns for all the races, with the expansion it is truly a timeless classic. Maybe someday it will get a graphic makeover and a remastered soundtrack (wishful thinking) I love to play Protoss... I have this build where I go from photon cannons to carriers, no zealots or dragoons ^,^

I'm not sure what my APM is (actions per minute) but I use hot keys for building, checking bases, and assigning groups so I can get busy.

Yeah, mass dragoons ensures a win against AI....if you want to check your BW or RoC/TFT APM check out these SK Replay Parser (WC3) and BWChart (BW). Third party programs FTW! They open your replays and tell all the stats

oh and not to mention WarCraftIII+Frozen Throne ~ the beast master campaign was such a great story as well.

@swoop - I recall that project years back, I was unable to get it to work :~/ and thought it was a hoax :~P

@blue - place cannons in key locations, keep making drones to mine and use 1 or 2 to scout enemy base and to build more bases to be guarded by more photon cannons, then start building your structures for the carriers, spam cannons to guard bases build fleets, charge up carriers, defend attack waves with your carriers above the photon cannons, then attack after enemy attack wave... ^,^

nice I'l try it out some time. It'd cost a lot to rebuild cannons every time, especially if you're vs terran tanks that out range them. Or like, sneaky nuke.oh...my highest average APM in a 20 minute match is 83.. peaking at 121. lol APM spam. I got it to 177 once when I kept pressing 1,2,1,2,1,2,f1,f2 etc.For WC3, avg. APM is around 60-70. But there's not much to do in WC3. Building and massing periods are so loooonnngggggggggggggg............

I used to play BW a while back. Sucked at it, and only was great at team matches. Watching SC2 makes me feel like I'll be forever a bronze haha.I have the discs and stuff right here so if you want to play let me know. Maybe not on GF, but many people still play SC1 and WC3, mostly because they're pretty original, great and you can play the original DotA on it.

I have played mainly Warcraft 3 and a bit of Starcraft BW and WOL, I know that blue plays as Protos in Starcraft but plays Night Elf in Warcraft and he hates the Undead but their style of play is the same as the Protos in Starcraft. what would be the difference in play between the Undead and Protoss ?

Ehem. The difference between Protoss and Undead is:Undead have ugly mugsProtoss are badass-likeI generally despise undeadI don't like the undeadThe undead are kinda crappyUndead units are badIn early to late game, undead are unfavored by meI dislike the undead

@Blue-Ok... Reasons why the night elf are crap;First they depend to much on weak ranged units.They sacrifice workers on pointless buildings, and you might say that Zerg do the same but they make up for that with the free automatic lavae.Thier Wood gathering is soooo slow +5 every 2 seconds And finally must of them are butt ugly and their tech tree is just useless

u kid me thanatos? (imagine me shouting at you with my mouth full, because I'm eating dinner)night elf have huntress, druid of claw and mountain giant for tanky stuff. Most of the time NE doesn't need to tank because that's not how you play them.The workers only sacrifice to make ancients. And besides, they're too weak to do anything else anyway. They have dispel that kills summoned units.NE never runs out of wood. Your undead eat wood the fastest and it makes it easier to find your base.I look at undead and say "lol wut tech-tree?"Reasons undead are crap:The acolytes are good for leveling up heroesThey use more resources to buildthey heal really slowww...............not as slow as human thoughuhh...I'll think of more later.

Are you joking me (that doesn't even make sense but imagine me using elaborate hand gestures)

First of allPros: MobileInexpensive, able to mass troopMany unit abilities revolves around health regenBest support heroes in the gameAbility to use corpse as resource"Summoned" buildingsGhouls collect 20 woods per tripCons:Do not exist. End of story.

Also (now yelling) As the NE build units and buildings things are way slower than you, build these first: 3 zigurats, 1 crypt, 1 graveyard (to use later) and a tomb of relics. Build an elite team with the Hero you got that will kick NE ass, 5 ghouls, 3 necromancers and 3 banshees. Research Cannabalize to help with the healing of ghouls, and message to NE opponent "IMA GONA KICK YOU ASS!" Then go near the NE's base, hold there till noon (apparently weakest time for the weak NE's) and attack the hero first, when s/he's dead, the rest is as easy as ordering a attack move to thier gold mine ! IF you have time, research the upgrades in the graveyard! For giggles. d(^_^)b

That's just an incredibly biased view of WC3.Pros:Buildings can regen health and fightNE can heal just by doing a moon well runNE units are stronger than Undead and are more cost efficient (by SKILLED players)Warden can chase down your weak mage heroes and pick them offDH can tank better than Death Knight (DK)Keeper of the Grove (lol KotG) can get undead to kill themselves with the thorns aura.Wisps don't need "trips" to get woodMassing against mountain giant and Priestess starcall is kinda lameCons:...

(imagine me slapping you in the face, so you can't hear too good)Also NE units and buildings are way stronger than UD. Acolytes take one or two hits. You need to build on blight so you can't proxy build (build out of base). I just get 5 huntress + warden, draw you out of the base, then kill your workers before shadow melding (using the moon stone buddeh). I get some faerie dragons and get your necros and banshees to kill themselves w/ feedback. Or y'know, I can just be annoying and summon treants into your base. No biggie. Oh yeah, NE have superior air control. Come to think of it, UD doesn't even have any decent ground to air units. *manic laughter*

haha nah :p I can only play WC3, SC:BW and Empires: Dawn of the Modern World. SC2 is still out of my skill level. APM of 40 there. And I lost all my pre-league games. Like the ones that determine your rank. TOO MANY OPTIONS IN SC2
